battery charge

Restoring stored energy

Battery charge refers to the amount of electrical energy stored in a battery, typically expressed as a percentage of full capacity: My phone's battery charge is down to 15%.

To charge a battery is to restore its energy by connecting it to a power source.

Battery charge also has a legal sense—a formal accusation of the crime of battery, which is unlawful physical contact with another person: He faces a battery charge for the assault.
